Texarkana
Twin-state border city
Texarkana is a city straddling the Texas-Arkansas border, with distinct municipal governments on each side sharing the name.
The unusual name blends Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana (though the city doesn't actually extend into Louisiana).
It appears in American folklore and song as a symbol of the rural South: I'm going to Texarkana or die trying.
